It's time for the Edmonton Oilers to play Dylan Holloway over Evander Kane in the lineup. After an incredible two-goal performance by Holloway in last night's 5-4 OT loss in Game 2 of their series against the LA Kings, all while playing on the fourth line, it's clear that the 22-year-old deserves a much better look. Holloway was arguably the team's best player on the ice, yet he only played 9:42 all night, which is second-last on the entire team, above only Sam Carrick. If the Oilers are in the business of winning games in the playoffs, they will have to up that number by a significant amount.
In today's NHL rumors rundown, the Toronto Maple Leafs are waiting to make a game-time decision on William Nylander's status versus the Boston Bruins in Game 2. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are in the news as Evander Kane revealed he has a sports hernia injury and the team called up a goaltender as an emergency backup. The Philadelphia Flyers might be moving on from a few key players, and are the Calgary Flames looking at a possible on-ice reunion next season?
Connor McDavid will return to the Edmonton Oilers lineup for the team's last home game of the regular season against the San Jose Sharks tonight. The Oilers captain took to the ice for this morning's skate after missing the last three games with an unspecified lower-body injury. The reigning NHL MVP skated on a line with Adam Henrique and Zach Hyman. “Everything has been feeling good and I'll play tonight,” McDavid told the media this morning.
